"Though the satellite collects imagery at 0.41-meter ground resolution, due to U.S. licensing restrictions, commercial customers will only get access to imagery that has been processed to half-meter ground resolution," GeoEye says.
Why did GeoEye shoot Kutztown University?
"When we opened the camera door at noon on Oct. 7 and looked down on the earth 423 miles below, the school was underneath us," GeoEye Vice President for Communications and Marketing Mark Brender told The Washington Post. "It is truly our first image."
